US-based healthcare technology company Health Recovery Solutions (HRS) has partnered with remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions provider Smart Meter to enhance its PatientConnect solution.
Under the collaboration, the companies will integrate cellular measurement devices into the PatientConnect solution as a low-cost alternative to the traditional Bluetooth-based solution.
HRS said the integration of cellular measurement devices into the PatientConnect system will provide a more accessible option for patients of lower acuity or facing social disparities.
In addition to reducing the costs for patients, the integration will lower the expenses for healthcare organisations, making healthcare more affordable and accessible.
Health Recovery Solutions CEO Jason Comer said: “Our goal has always been to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for everyone.
“By partnering with Smart Meter, we are able to offer a more flexible, easy-to-use, and cost-effective solution that caters to the needs of our diverse patient population.
“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.”
According to HRS, PatientConnect provides condition-specific education, symptom surveys, and medication reminders and is offered in multiple languages.
The device remotely monitors risk alerts and vitals captured via Bluetooth biometric monitoring devices and communicates with patients in real-time, to support rural communities.
It is said to simplify clinician workflow with real-time patient-provider communication tools and improve patient engagement and self-symptom management.
Also, the solution improves patient outcomes with a complete hospital-at-home approach – including the option for continuous remote monitoring for high-acuity patients.
Smart Meter CEO Casey Pittock said: “We are excited to join forces with Health Recovery Solutions to bring cellular measurement devices to the forefront of remote patient monitoring.
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovative healthcare solutions that break down barriers to quality care. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of patients and healthcare providers alike.”
